139.0beta Firefox Beta

April 29, 2025

Version 139.0beta, first offered to Beta channel users on April 29, 2025

Firefox Beta gets updated 3 times a week and as a consequence, the release notes for the Beta channel are updated continuously to reflect features that have reached sufficient maturity to benefit from community feedback and bug reports.

Warning: Features listed here may or may not make a final release of Firefox.

In addition to these release notes, you can follow ongoing development via the Firefox Trains website or our @FirefoxBeta Bluesky account.

New

  • Full-Page Translations are now available within Firefox extension pages.

Fixed

  • PNG images with transparency now keep their transparency when pasted into Firefox.

  • The upload performance of HTTP/3 been significantly improved, particularly on resumed connections (QUIC 0-RTT) and high bandwidth and high delay connections.

Web Platform

  • window.getSelection().toString() now correctly returns the text serialization when text is selected in a text control, improving cross-browser interoperability on some sites.

  • Closed <details> elements are now searchable and can be automatically expanded if found via find-in-page.

  • Timer throttling for Workers is now supported.

  • The Temporal proposal is now enabled by default in Firefox. Temporal is a better version of Date, for more details, please see https://spidermonkey.dev/blog/2025/04/11/shipping-temporal.html and https://tc39.es/proposal-temporal/docs/.

  • Added support for the WebAuthn largeBlob extension.

  • Added support for requestClose() to HTMLDialogElement.

  • Service Workers are now available in Private Browsing Mode. This enhancement builds on our efforts to support IndexedDB and the DOM Cache API in Private Browsing through encrypted storage. With this change, more websites, especially those that rely on background tasks, will be able to benefit from Service workers.

  • Firefox now supports the hidden=until-found attribute, allowing content to be found via find-in-page when it's otherwise hidden by default.
